My wonderful friend and former boss, Aurie Pennick, President of the Field Foundation, sent me this picture with the email caption, “It Just Looks Right.” Her message contained another pithy aphorism, “As It Should Be.”
It is indeed a remarkable image and a welcome and long overdue moment in our history.
To follow up on my last blog post regarding Proposition 8: after Aurie sent me this, I emailed her back, thanking her and saying that I look forward to the day that a gay president will be in this picture with his or her spouse and children.
Many people lost hope that they’d ever see a first family like the one above. Likewise, this picture should give hope to those of us who oppose Proposition 8 and long to see gay spouses and their family in the highest, elected office.
